Controversies On December 8, 2018, a university official made a public statement that the School of Medicine had conducted its entrance examinations inappropriately. Age was taken into consideration when deciding alternate candidates, and applicants meeting the following criteria were given additional points when taking the AO (Admissions Office) entrance examinees: high school graduates from any of the three Hokuriku prefectures (Ishikawa (5 points), Fukui (3 points), and Toyama (3 points)), children of alumni (10 points), 3rd year high school students and 1st year (5 points). Additional points were also given during the application screening process for transfer applicants who taking the transfer exam who had graduated from a highschool in one of the three Hokuriku prefectures and students who were under the age of 25, whereas points were deducted from applicants aged 27 and above. In response, the JUAA announced that it would be retracting its "Conforming" evaluation for the academic years of 2013-2017. Universities without this status are unable to apply for government grants for the development of educational programs.
